I used to use Xubuntu, got frustrated with the ways that it hasn't really kept up integration-wise, and tried to switch to straight Ubuntu with 13.04 and... couldn't stand it.
I'm glad I found Mint after that. Cinnamon is by far the best experience I've had with the linux desktop yet.
- smoyer 13y agoI've also switched to Mint with xfce. My laptop got slow terribly slow somewhere between 11.04 and 12.04 and I just couldn't stand waiting for Unity anymore. The same laptop is blazing fast again.
- vacri 13y agoCinnamon is in Ubuntu and has been at least since 12.10 - this is what I use at work. It's also in Debian unstable.
- stormbrew 13y agoI haven't tried just using the basic cinnamon packages from an installed Ubuntu system, but I have tried it from an installed Xubuntu system and it definitely doesn't work as well as a full Mint install. At any rate they're all ubuntus in the end, but the whole package of Mint+Cinnamon is what I was referring to.
- vacri 13y agoIn hindsight, I'm incorrect. There is a PPA for cinnamon in 12.10. I just upgraded to 13.04 today and ran into the PPA issue.
